Awash

A definite-deserved-winning poem !

blustering downpours
flooded my chest
with stormy water

This part was very intelligently written, truly loved the imagination put here.

The last part made me go like wow..this poem is such a great inspiration at the end.
Very well done Mel
Write on !

A lovely piece well worth the read, wonderfully constructed with clever word usage. I've read a lot of poems that have won on the front page, yours is more deserving than most. I disagree with The Tasteless regarding your over emphasis of the word "love" in the second line, to me it gives focus to your piece and draws the reader in to the atmosphere and the poems intent. Well done
